[CUDA][HIP] Allow comdat for kernels
Two identical instantiations of a template function can be emitted by two TU's with linkonce_odr linkage without causing duplicate symbols in linker. MSVC also requires these symbols be in comdat sections. Linux does not require the symbols in comdat sections to be merged by linker but by default clang puts them in comdat sections. If a template kernel is instantiated identically in two TU's. MSVC requires that them to be in comdat sections, otherwise MSVC linker will diagnose them as duplicate symbols. However, currently clang does not put instantiated template kernels in comdat sections, which causes link error for MSVC. This patch allows putting instantiated template kernels into comdat sections.
